Has cardiovascular health impacted your work?

Sometimes a diagnosis can drastically change our work-life. Esspecially with cardiovascular complications, work can become challenging.

How has cardiovascular health impacted your work?

  1. I am also on dialysis in center but go the office MWF. Since I do dialysis T, Th, and Sat I just work from home those days.

    1. Hello! Thanks for joining in on the conversation. It's great that your job allows you the flexibility to do your dialysis on the days you're not in the office. Wishing you all the best! -Olivia

  2. I'm retired thankfully now, but my daughter is helping me with mobility through using a wheelchair. I don't know what I'd do without her. Short walks are ok but my leg tires very quickly. Getting old really is no fun 😭

    1. PAD has made it difficult to stand or walk.

      1. I'm really sorry to hear that PAD is making it hard for you to stand or walk. Are you able to use assistance devices, like a walker or cane? They can really help with stability and make moving around a bit easier. Has this prevented you from working?. John. community moderator

      2. thank you. Cardiovascular issues are very isolating. Good to know someone is "out there"
